[PATCH RFC v5 4/6] iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Support shared SIDs in insert/remove_master

From: Peng Fan (OSS)

Date: Tue Oct 06 2026 - 08:15:23 EST


From: Peng Fan <peng.fan@xxxxxxx>

On SoCs like NXP i.MX95 where the SMMU has a limited number of Stream
IDs (e.g. 6-bit bus = 64 SIDs), multiple DMA-capable devices are
assigned the same Stream ID by hardware design.

Refactor arm_smmu_find_master() into arm_smmu_find_stream() to look up
streams by SID inside the lock. When a second master attempts to use a
SID that is already claimed, link the masters together via the stream's
shared_masters list instead of rejecting the probe.

Sharing is restricted to single-SID masters (num_streams == 1) to keep
the STE lifecycle simple. Multi-SID sharing is explicitly rejected.

On removal, a shared master detaches from the shared_masters list. The
stream and its RB tree entry are kept alive until the last master using
that SID is removed.
